About Mullangi kootu

Mullangi Kootu is a savory South Indian dish made with tender radishes (mullangi), lentils, and a fragrant blend of spices. Typically part of Tamil Nadu cuisine, this wholesome preparation combines radish, protein-rich moong dal or toor dal, and fresh coconut, seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried chilies, and turmeric. Packed with dietary fiber, radish aids digestion and supports detoxification, while lentils provide essential plant-based protein and iron. Turmeric adds anti-inflammatory benefits, and coconut contributes healthy fats, although moderation is advised for those watching saturated fat intake. Mullangi Kootu is traditionally enjoyed with steamed rice, making it a nutrient-dense addition to vegetarian meals. Simple and flavorful, it is a great option for those seeking hearty yet balanced dishes rooted in Indian culinary traditions.
